Shizuku

Shizuku wears clothes that look like what a shrine maiden would wear.

Her style is traditional and makes her stand out as someone connected to spiritual things.

Shizuku is very smart for her age and can handle complex tasks.

She is good with both special rituals and office work.

Even though she is part of her father’s team, she is known for her sharp tongue.

She does not try to hide how strange her father can seem and does not make excuses for him, which leads to her father, Suwa Yorishige, complaining about her attitude.

Despite her intelligence, Shizuku has a dreamy and mysterious feeling about her, making her seem a bit apart from regular life.

Shizuku is the daughter of Suwa Yorishige, a respected figure.

She spent time traveling around Shinano for religious ceremonies.

Because of this, she has collected many secrets and knows many people, making her skilled at gathering information and giving advice to leaders.

Shizuku is very good at spiritual rituals and putting plans in order.

She’s an expert at making connections and helping behind the scenes.

She can sense dangers and sometimes acts like she can see the future.

She can move away from risky places before trouble starts, though not quite as well as her father.

Shizuku assists her father Suwa Yorishige in his work.

Her father wants Shizuku to one day become the steward for Tokiyuki Hojo and manage the household.

She is the same age as Tokiyuki Hojo, and they become master and servant.

She secretly has feelings for Tokiyuki Hojo.

This is hinted at when she is told by Suwa Yorishige to use a different name for Tokiyuki Hojo when strangers are around, so his true identity stays hidden.

Shizuku blushes and decides to call him “Big Brother” as her special way to refer to him.

Helping Her Father

Shizuku plays a key role in supporting Suwa Yorishige with his duties.

She helps him with rituals and managing important matters for their group.

Gathering Information

Because she travels for religious reasons, Shizuku knows much about the land and the people.

This helps her give good advice and plan carefully for the future.

Secret Feelings

When Suwa Yorishige asks her to use a code name for Tokiyuki Hojo in front of others, Shizuku reacts shyly.

She thinks up “Big Brother” as a nickname, showing her special feelings for him.

Her True Identity

Shizuku is not just a regular girl—her real form is the spirit of the guardian deity once enshrined at Suwa Grand Shrine.

This secret makes her very important and gives her mysterious powers.

Shizuku stands out for her sharp mind, clever words, and spiritual gifts.

She often surprises others by knowing about things before they happen and always seems ready for any challenge.
